Gabi na ng may kumatok sa pintuan ng private suite ni Marga. Gising pa si Laurice dahil pinagpahinga siya ni Ty kanina. Nang buksan niya ang pinto ay muli na naman siyang nagulat.
"Laurice... " ani ng lalaking kumatok.
"You..." ani naman ni Laurice.
"Laurice... Can I see your mom?" ani naman ni Jarrod
"I'm sorry Sir but I really don't know why you're here but the last time I let you in, my mom ended up here in the hospital." ani naman ni Laurice na bakas ang disgusto sa boses.
"It wasn't my intention Laurice. I...I just wanna see her..." ani naman ni Jarrod
"You've seen her earlier. Now you may leave." ani naman ni Laurice
"Please...I really... Want to see her...how is she? How is she doing right now?" ani naman ni Jarrod.
"Forgive me for asking, but what business do you have with my mother?" naninimbang na tanong ni Laurice
"I...your mother and I...we...we had...we had something special before... I...I just-" ani naman ni Jarrod pero sa narinig at biglang tumigas ang mukha ni Laurice.
"Are you my father?" ani naman ni Laurice na titig na titig sa mga mata ni Jarrod habang nagbabanta ng tumulo ang luha sa mga mata.
"Laurice? Baby?" ani naman ni Ty na nagising na.
"Laurice... I...I" ani Jarrod na hindi na natapos ang sasabihin.
"Are you my father who left us? Who abandoned us? Who treated my mother like trash even before I was born?" mapanganib na tanong ni Laurice na nag uunahan ng bumagsak ang mga luha.
"I-I-I didn't... I didn't... Mean...I didn't -" ani Jarrod na walang maapuhan na isagot kay Laurice.
"So you're really him. You should have never showed your face. I never wanted to see you. I never wanted to see the man who abandoned me..." ani naman ni Laurice
"Laurice... Please... Please..." ani naman ni Jarrod
"Leave! And never come back. You're dead to me and the dead don't come back to life! " ani naman ni Laurice na titig na titig kay Jarrod.
"Laurice... Let me explain... Please...I'm begging you..." ani naman ni Jarrod
"I said leave!!!" ani naman ni Laurice na wala ng tigil ang luha.
"I suggest you leave now Mr. Lyons. Before I drag you out myself." ani naman ni Ty on a very dangerous tone.
"You shouldn't have come here dad." malamig na boses ni JT na sumunod pala sa ama.
"JT... " ani naman ni Laurice ng makita ang binata.
"Sorry for all yhr trouble Laurice... " ani naman ni JT
"And you...you knew all about this...me...you already knew everything..." ani naman ni Laurice na naiiyak na.
"Laurice..." ani naman ni JT
"Goddammit! You knew and you didn't tell me JT!!!" sigaw naman ni Laurice.
"I'm sorry..." ani naman ni JT
"Sorry...? That's all you'll say? Sorry? JT... You...you made a fool out of me..." ani naman ni Laurice
"I didn't... I...i was.." ani naman ni JT
"Leave. The both of you leave. I never wanna see you. Both of you." ani naman ni Laurice
"Laurice... " ani naman ni Jarrod
"We don't need you! Leave us alone! Never come back!" ani naman ni Laurice.
"Laurice... I'm...I'm your-" ani JT
